One thing common we can see in all people is that they want to become empowered. How they go about that is a personal choice. So many do it by gathering money, others by gathering fame and reputation. These three tend to be a currency that you can make deals with. Others take purpose from their pet projects, or the environment, or through goodness or religion, those are less of a currency in this day and age.
But the grandfather of all empowerment is to be fully in charge of your own state of mind. Let's call it equanimity. With that one in place, all others can flow out at will. But most people don't agree with that, because they see agitation as strength. It's their belief. For the latter, the fundamental mechanism is that beliefs create an adopted sense of justice. That justice says "it shouldn't ought to be this way." That triggers the mind to do something about it. And that tension, has (in the end), created all the hell that exists on earth.
